The Who in Berlin!


We made it into Berlin yesterday, and my sister and I are practising our very rusty German. Most of the time we are making ourselves understood, although the raised eyebrows at our very rudimdentary grammar is quite amusing.
We did very little last night except find an amazing restaurant in Savigny Platz, which seems to be a theatre district area, and then walk from Zoo Station to the Brandenburg Gate, which took us through the debris that was once the Fan Mile for the FIFA World Cup, a long stretch of avenue where fans watched the games for free on large television screens.
It is a blistering 31 C in Berlin, has been since yesterday, and the sun is really quite bright. I think it's going to be a hot night for the Who in all ways possible. I will post a review later on for all of you following our boys, and look forward to meeting some of the Who fans at a pre-concert pub dinner.

I hope everyone is doing well, and thanks for your good wishes.

Hi Anne,
Glad to hear that you made it to Berlin OK.

Is the US the only country that doesn't use the celsious temperature readings? I had no idea how hot or cold 31C is, so I went outside to look at the thermometer. So Berlin was 89 degrees farenheit? That is pretty warm.

Have a great time seeing The Who, can't wait to hear all about it.

Have a wonderful evening Anne Marie. It's very hot here too, and long may it last! I seem to have deleted the email you sent me which told me the date you would be in Rotters....so ..ahem..grovel, could you let me know? If it's easiest to put it on my blog, that will be just fine, dear..looking forward to it and trying to plan for Jodie to come and meet you too.

Waiting for the Who report too......
Love
Val

Hi Anne-Marie!!
I had seen your blog even if I'm italian and I don't speak english very well, but I get the idea.
I'm a big big fan of The Who, but in particular of Pete Townshend and on 14th July I'm going to The Who's concert in Locarno (swiss). I'm very very exciting!!

LONG LIVE ROCK!

Tecla.

p.s
FORZA ITALIA WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

It sounds like a fantastic trip so far, Anne-Marie. It's not quite 31 here, thank God. Enjoy the concert (as though I even have to SAY that...as if you wouldn't! *L*)
